Editorial Reviews

This special Blu-Ray presentation of Jimi Hendrix: Hear My Train A Comin' presents the definitive documentary about the extraordinary life of the greatest guitarist of all time, now in high definition video.

As seen on American Masters (PBS), this critically acclaimed film, directed by Bob Smeaton (The Beatles Anthology; Festival Express), unveils previously unseen performance footage and home movies while sourcing an extensive archive of photographs, drawings, family letters and more to provide new insight into the musician's personality and genius with interviews with Hendrix himself, commentary from well-known friends and musicians including Paul McCartney, Noel Redding, Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, Eddie Kramer, Steve Winwood, as well as revealing glimpses into Jimi from those closest to him. The film details the meteoric rise of the Experience, the creation of his groundbreaking music, the building of Electric Lady Studios, his state of the art recording facility in Greenwich Village and concludes with poignant footage from his final performance in Germany in September 1970, just 12 days before his death at age 27.

A pioneering electric guitarist, Hendrix had only four years of mainstream exposure and recognition, but his influential music and riveting stage presence left an enduring legacy.

First off, the showing I went to happened to also be attended by the director Bob Smeaton! Kind of cool! We got to ask him questions about the doc after it was over. Nice guy and very frank about the challenges of editing a doc like this one with so many voices and pieces of footage to choose from and showcase.

Overall, this is a fine job. Keep in mind that for us "Jimi heads" we've seen the vast majority of the footage that's out there in one form or another. The two or three biggest "new Jimi visuals" included in the doc are Miami (obviously) and we get nearly a complete performance of Foxy Lady. We also get snippets of Tax Free and plenty of footage of the Miami crowd. But given this is a documentary, you're going to have to wait for the "Extras" in order to really enjoy all of the new footage, including Isle of Fehrman, which is briefly shown in the doc when Jimi performs Spanish Castle Magic (with the audience tape the family released as the audio for the cut). We also get, for what was for me anyways, some previously unseen footage of Jimi performing in a full blue velvet get-up. I forget which concert this was taken from.

The majority of the people interviewed in the doc have since passed on. Noel, Mitch, Chas, Paul Caruso, Buddy Miles, and a few more. Surprise, Faye Pridgeon is still around, so is Billy Cox (thank goodness), Linda Keith, but we still don't get any updated interview with Eric Barrett, unfortunately. Bob Smeaton mentioned that Eric didn't like how he was quoted in the original Jimi Hendrix biopic back in '73 and hence has never allowed himself to be interviewed on camera about Jimi since. Also, Leon chose not to be interviewed for this doc.Read more ›

I waited with great anticipation for this release. The previews with the unseen Miami footagehad me really excited to see this production. Understand, this was presented on television on the PBS American Masters Series. This is NOT a look at the sordid details of his drug use or the way he died. What we have here is a look at his life and his music....his wonderful, glorious music. In that endevour, the film succeeds quite well. Using interview segments from friends and bandmates (several who are now deceased), an interesting look at his journey and his struggles emerges. He WANTED to be the best, and as manager Chas Chandler says, "By hell he worked at it."The film explains how Jimi tried to be BETTER each day. Comments from Paul McCartney,Steve Winwood and Billy Cox are icing on the cake. The interview segments from Fayne Pridgeon and Collete Mimram are a welcome surprise and touching addition to the film.Eddie Kramer in studio showing how some of Jimi's incredible songs were constructed is amazing to see. The new Miami footage is astonishing and while some think that Experience Hendrix is holding back some, there may in fact not be anymore. Many times when the camera angle switches from Jimito the crowd, that sometimes means that the cameraman stopped shooting (yeah it happens) so filler footage is used. We do get some of that but what we do see will blow away the most jaded Hendrix fan. While the music is the main attraction here, the thoughts of Jimi's friends and fellow musicians mean a lot to the overall feature. In my view, this film makes the DVD documentary"Jimi Hendrix/ Voodoo Child" which came in the "West Coast Seattle Boy" boxset obsolete.(that one WAS a waste of time... I only watched it once).Read more ›

This is the best documentary about Jimi Hendrix I've seen. His story is nicely related with insightful interviews while the music is perfectly woven throughout. Many rare, or unseen concert clips are included. I'm buying the dvd for the extras as well, because he is a huge part of the soundtrack of my life and I want to fill in all the spaces possible.

I do wish Jimi had liked his own voice better. I think its great, but his unassuming off-stage persona must have let the self doubts enter regarding his vocals.

This is the way Hendrix should be remembered, it honors his innovative, original brilliance and vision. If there is a lack of ugliness about background people or situations, all the better. Its about the music and his legacy as it should be. The documentary is very satisfying and supports all my good experiences with this amazing, original artist.

For a brand new 2 hour documentary the low price is on the mark. This film does Hendrix' career justice by including a wealth of studio material, photographs, and many sight and sound examples of live performances.

As Jimi's first manager (ex-Animal Chas Chandler, one of its better interviewees) states convincingly, Hendrix was not a tragic figure and his warm and fun loving but shy personality is evident throughout the film. His early death is tragic to be certain, but his short life's work is infinitely brilliant. The film is heavy on the 4 compressed years of his recording career and manages to include interviews with those who knew him best during this period. Kudos to the film's compilers for drawing on the important recollections of the now deceased Mitch Mitchell, Noel Redding, and Chas Chandler. Wouldn't be complete without the views from his bandmates and they are in ample supply here.

Not only is his virtuoso playing in evidence, it is also emphasized that Hendrix was not only a brilliant guitar stylist but a composer and sound shaper of the highest order. His collaborations with sympathetic engineer Eddie Kramer were magnificent sonic statements and a strong argument is made, in spite of false notions that Hendrix was spent, that if not for his manic touring schedule and money woes and, finally, his death there would not have been many more amazing efforts by the two of them.

I remembered thinking that when he died that he had "probably peaked anyway", which was a callous way for a 19 year old to rationalize his loss, the end of such an immense talent who had contributed so much to the musical landscape of my youth.Read more ›

I'm looking forward to this and the Miami Pop Festival on CD and vinyl. Would also love to hear a blu ray (audio only) version of "Miami Pop Festival" since that would be the ultimate digital experience if done correctly.
